If I am the lead investigator with my

partner, Robert, I would like to speak to

the ambassador first, and his wife.

I think that's a wonderful idea.

Okay, let's do this.

Excuse me,

Mr. Santos?

If you need anything, please don't hesitate

to call me but please don't call me at night

because I'm packing.

See, I'm moving-

and who are you?

I'm the personal

assistant of Mr. Adams.

Okay,

we'll let you know if we need anything.

Thank you.

That was disrespectful.

It's their investigation.

We should wait our turn.

This won't take long.

Thank you, I appreciate it,

ambassador, madam ambassador.

I'm just trying to understand..

You had breakfast this morning

with your daughter?

Yes.

Was she in a bad mood?

No.

Did you guys have an argument?

No, I never argue with my daughter.

Please don't get defensive.

I need to understand her mindset.

If it's a game, kids that age sometimes

if they get pissed off at their parents..

No, no, my daughter and I had a wonderful

relationship. We

were really more

friends than anything else.

One child?

Yes.

So, you had breakfast..

Did you guys discuss anything at breakfast?

It was a normal breakfast

just like any other day.

Please indulge me.

What was the discussion?

Did she ask for money?

Are you planning the day?

I'm just trying to get some insight.

Yes, she asked for $35.

What was that for?

I don't know, um, I didn't ask.

You just gave her $35?

You didn't ask what the money was for?

She's a good

kid, so I-i just..

I just figured, I don't

know, maybe she wanted to

buy something, or lunch.

It really wasn't anything

out of the ordinary.

What about you?

Did you have an argument with your daughter?

Not at all. I cleared

my slate so I could

spend the day with my family, actually.

Is that a problem, you don't get a chance to

spend time with your family?

I'm the ambassador to Canada

from the United States.

I'm asking you a question.

I work, I have a busy day.

But I decided

to clear my-

business comes first?

Over your family?

On a normal day I go to work,

my daughter goes to school.

And do you have dinner every night at home?

Most nights.

Hmph.

My initial feeling on

this is that somebody's

trying to get back at you.

And I'm not trying to embarrass you

in front of your wife,

but I've read up on you

and you've had some indiscretions.

It was all over the tabloids and the

newspapers in Los Angeles.

Yes, there have been some indiscretions,

unfortunately, but..

Yes, I have been

weak. But we have-

my wife has made me stronger.

So everything's good now?

We're working on things.

Agent Sampson.

Took my eyes off her, sir.

Yes, sir.

No, sir.

Sir, I think that
